FM Transmitter program
Hey guys, I recently saw my friend play his cellphone through his radio w/o wires or adapters. He said it is a program that he had on his phone. Of course it was not a Treo wx or a PPC for that matter. I really don't remember what type phone but it wasn't one from here. Anyway, anybody know of an FM Transmitter hack or program that could be used with our phones? Any help would be useful.
PS I will also post this in the Treo wx forum for us treoheads!! PM me if you know of one that is superb |
Chances are his phone was a LG Fusic or LG Musiq. FM Transmitters are hardware, so if your phone doesn't have one software can't emulate it.
|
So does that mean I have to buy one? Damn................! That would have been a cool app. But hey, they hacked MusicID so I am not giving up. I am sure someone can do this. Maybe one of our Mortscript geniuses.

no one can unless you add a FM transmitter to the phone. You might as well stream music from many of the sites that are out there. search adn you will find a PIE site

Right, but to broadcast your sound from your phone you need a radio (hardware) built into the phone or added on to your phone. No software is capable of generating an FM frequency and subsequently broadcasting that frequency without any hardware.

Your phone has bluetooth... lots of car stereos are bluetooth compatible and the main stereo unit in car is really not that expensive.

FM Car transmitters all transmit in mono though from what I understand. You won't get great sound quality unless you actually upgrade your car stereo with an ext input.

Your other option is to get one of those Tape deck things with the headphone wire. get the converter and plug it into your phone, it will sound like crap, but can work. |

Isn't auxiliary input the best way to hook up your PPC to your car's stereo system?

If you've got a stereo that cost more than $100, chances are it has an aux input in the back. You can check by pressing the mode buttons on your stereo. If one of the modes is "Input, Aux, MP3, External," or anything similar, it's got the input. Buy a 3.5mm to component (2.5mm to component cable would be better but incredibly hard to find) and a 2.5-3.5mm adapter. Pull your stereo out, plug the component cable in and coil it through your glovebox or something. Attach the standard headphone jack to th phone through the adapter. Make sure you test it out before putting the stereo back in. You may get just noise in one channel- fix it by unplugging that component and setting your stereo to "mono." |
Here's an adapter if you want good quality sound. I'm thinking of actually getting this instead of an FM transmitter >>
